Jeanne, when my husband and I started dating, he told me he would not eat peppers or onions. This make it difficult to share a pizza. Anyway, I got fed up trying to cook without peppers and onions and now if he sees something that looks like a red pepper in a dish, he asks if it's a pepper and I tell him no, it's a pimento. Same goes for onions, no, that's a scallion. He seems satisfied with those answers so he eats it and still assumes he's not eating peppers or onions. My husband is pretty smart about a lot of things, but the vegetable group is not one of them.
